Are multiply bodies possible?

[Crota]

I really love some of the armor mods that are released but unfortunately some are for CBBE, 7BO, UNPB, BHUNP, etc. So I can't always have access to all the types of armor I am looking to wear at some point, or change on the fly. So, is it possible to maybe use CBBE as the characters main body and then build other outfits, that use other body types, in Bodyslide and have that line up still? would it look really janky? Or is there another way that I do not know about?

If an outfit was not made for CBBE, then it has to be converted.  If you have CBBE body built, and put on an armor that was made for UUNP for example, then the body shape will be rather mutated looking and not good.  So, it's not going to crash but it will look awful unless it's converted using Outfit Studio (and possibly other tools as well, like nifscope, since sometimes different bodys have different number of "bones").  There are many guides on how to convert outfits, but I'll refrain from trying to link one since I can't vet it since I've never tried to convert an outfit. I take that back, I forgot I had this bookmarked.  These videos are by someone that does a great deal of conversion work and posts them to LL. 

 

Here's some tutorials by NIND and here is their conversion archive so you can see their work.

As already said, you would have to put some work into it if you wanna have all the armors you possibly want to have. Another method but not always a perfect solution is, taking cbbe 3bbb for example as a main bod and yous your 3bbb Preset on Cbbe Armors and clothing. No no clipping, no wrist seams ect. But your Character/npc would still equip another body while wearing the cloths. That's the method i used to overhaul all standard vanilla armors to the shape i use for the women in my game. It's not perfect but as long as it's not too skimpy or shows the genitals it will work fine. (i really only see a differents in the genital parts.)

 

But i have no idea if this would work for other bodys then cbbe, since 3bbb is cbbe based.

 

As for for  different bodys.. It IS in a way possible to have some npc´s with other body bases, in general Followers who come with their own prebuild bodys, i am talking mesh folder here. But that gets old pretty fast since they could not wear all of your outfits without looking weird in some of them.
